Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan's feud aside, the cast and crew of Yellowstone have become close-knit behind the scenes.
Following its inception in 2018, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes and more have spent countless hours together on set, sharing plenty of memories in Montana. Here, we reveal which Duttons have become good friends behind the scenes…
Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser
After working together for six years, it's safe to say that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser have a strong rapport. "She's one of my favorite actresses I've ever worked with, and working with her on this relationship has just been so much fun," Cole noted while shooting season four.

We get to go on this journey with these two incredible characters with each other. We're both really protective of them [Beth and Rip], and we're really passionate about the work."
Luke Grimes and Kevin Costner
Luke Grimes was initially nervous to work with Kevin Costner, but he quickly felt at ease after getting to know the John Dutton star. "[Kevin] always wants you to come hang out at his trailer down by this creek," he revealed to the New York Post in 2022."He's got a fire pit, and he's a musician, so he's always got a guitar around and won't hesitate to play you a song. He does a really good job of taking the pressure off what a huge icon he is."

Wes Bentley and Kelly Reilly
Despite their seriously tumultuous relationship on-screen, Wes Bentley and Kelly Reilly have a far sweeter bond in real life. "Wes and I have been doing this now together for five years," Kelly told the New York Times.
"We know each other quite well, and we take care of one another tremendously. We both have to be quite fearless in those scenes. They're quite ugly sometimes."

Luke Grimes and Kelsey Asbille
Cast as on-screen husband and wife, Kayce and Monica Dutton, Luke Grimes and Kelsey Asbille have raved about one another in interviews. Speaking with Looper in 2022, Kelsey gushed: "There's so much trust and comfort there. It's a wonderful partnership."
